President Trump wasted no time lashing out at the Justice Department and FBI over texts that allegedly reveal a “media leak strategy” to sabotage his presidency. (The Hill)
His tweet seems to be referencing a Fox Business segment on “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that discussed texts between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
“New Strzok-Page texts reveal ‘Media Leak Strategy,'” Trump tweeted early Monday morning. “@FoxNews So terrible, and NOTHING is being done at DOJ or FBI – but the world is watching, and they get it completely.”

The president had earlier also tweeted a quote from the show’s host Lou Dobbs, who during the segment said there is “nothing to show collusion between President Trump and Russia.”
“We have found nothing to show collusion between President Trump & Russia, absolutely zero, but every day we get more documentation showing collusion between the FBI & DOJ, the Hillary campaign, foreign spies & Russians, incredible.” @SaraCarterDC @LouDobbs

The president and his allies point to Strzok and Page’s misconduct as evidence of a larger anti-Trump bias at the FBI and DOJ.
